Last Monday Bonnie Gore sponsored a webinar update concerning construction plans and activities in West Placer and Roseville. If you have the time we encourage you to have a look at the replay available here.
The meeting lasted about 40 minutes. The major takeways:
Morgan Creek LLC’s project was listed as proposed. Alex Fisch, the County Planner put a name to it. It is now called Morgan Crossing. He stated that he expected to have an environmental impact report (EIR) available for circulation and comment in late spring/summer. This was a big surprise given that the back and forth between the LLC and the County seemed to indicate it wouldn’t be started until the County approved the project. Something for our Board and attorney to investigate.
Of general interest is the vast number of projects comprising tens of thousands of homes that are either already approved or in construction. The meeting was full of specifics.
Also, lots of commercial projects are approved for our neighborhood including the Baseline Marketplace at Fiddyment and Baseline containing lots of specialty shops and retail. The commercial area at Fiddyment and Pleasant Grove has also been approved including two Grocery stores yet to be identified.
Special thanks to Bradley Scates, one of our followers, for bringing this meeting to our attention.
The question that comes to my mind is: What does “MC LLC project listed as proposed” mean?
The Board of the HOA has kept us apprised of information from the County and it is examined for content by the HOA specific attorney against this proposed project by Morgan Creek LLC. Everyone has had an opportunity to read the response from the County. I believe we do know in real time what is happening. I felt the County, in its response to MCLLC, is holding Them to a high level of proof with their proposed application, which is not approved at this date. With that being said, we can not let our guard down. Our open space (golf course) is why we moved to this location, it makes Morgan Creek unique and is worth fighting for. The open space was part of the original Conditions of Approval by the County, let’s hope it will stand up under fire.
Our District 1 Supervisor Bonnie Gore is up for re-election in June 2022. Shouldn’t we as a community know her thoughts on the potential sale of the golf course? Also, not sure who she will be running against. Maybe that individual would share their thoughts?? Our community needs to be pro-active and let them know how strong we are against the sale of the golf course. We have many votes within our community and the surrounding areas. We need our HOA to have a plan and get the community involved!!
